SENATOR MCMILLIN stated that she knows this is the fair way to do it but she doesn't want to see Engineering go down to one seat that is not good representation. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO stated that the reason for this is because they lost the Architecture school and they are guaranteed a seat. Any changes can be challenged. SENATOR CAMPBELL suggested an alternative. SENATOR SMITH stated that Business & Economics got cut from 5 last time, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. SENATOR MCMILLIN stated that their school has so much good representation it is sad to see them only being allowed one seat. SENATOR MORROW stated that another alternative would be to take a seat from Student Development. SENATOR SMITH stated he would fight just as hard to keep his seat as they are to take it.

Motion made for an emergency motion to approve the contracts so the three bands can play for Homecoming by SENATOR SMITH. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO stated that he does not consider this to be an emergency item so the Senate will need to vote to override the chair. Move into a vote. An accurate vote could not be taken. BUSINESS MANAGER CALLISON stated that she has now been informed that they are using ISP's and those don't need to be passed. DIRECTOR REEVES stated that she took the contracts she found on the secretary's desk while she was out so the Senate would have paperwork. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO called a ten minute recess to get another tape. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO called the meeting back to order at 8:52p.m. SENATE PRESIDENT ROMERO stated that he made copies of the ISP's for the Senate and he has changed his decision because he doesn't want to punish Director Reeves, but the Senate will have to waive a bylaw. SENATOR DINOTO asked if CSUN was legally bound to the bands? Senate Minutes 24-33 page 11 BUSINESS MANAGER CALLISON stated that the contracts were not signed by her but the bands would be arriving tomorrow SENATOR VOLKERT reminded them that there is a verbal contract.
